Dug up in a homesite front yard in Houston, TX. W. G. RAGLEY LUMBER CO. BENFORD, TEXAS / GOOD FOR 5 ¢ IN MERCHANDISE.
W. G. Ragley Lumber Company operated a mill at Benford in the era before the world wars. The Gulf Coast Lumberman reported in 1921 that it was marketing Ragley's cut at Benford. The journal also reported in 1957 that the mill had cut out by 1926...
Slightly larger than a dime. WG RAGLEY 5¢TOKEN H.jpg From the Token Catalog
